The event will take place on Monday, May 11, inthe Great Hall of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, with the goal of exploringthe relationship between creativity, sustainability, and community.

The Arts constitute the combination of disciplines, processes and methodologies that, in harmony with the goals of the 2030 Agenda, are able to reinforce sustainable development, from the ontological level to its visible reflections on the habitat and communities.

In 2023, the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome adhered to a UN SDSN(United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network) protocol, andbolstered by its excellence in theoretical and practical education at a nationaland international level, has become one of the advocates of objective 4.7 ofthe 2030 Agenda, “to value cultural diversity and sustainable development”.

This approach also includes the creation and consolidation of the SpecializedTwo-Year Degree in Design for Sustainability. A true “unicum” in the national panorama of Italian Academies, this two-year degree in Design for Sustainability follows the priorities described in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through the 17 goals of sustainable development that constitute the vital nucleus of the 2030 Agenda.
